There are plenty of names that you definitely want to be aware of in music, and Lil Silva is certainly one of them. The 24-year-old is a sort of genius when it comes to production, and we can confidently make this claim with plenty of substantial evidence, such as his past work on BANKS' "Goddess" and "This Is What It Feels Like". Now, the British artist has arrived, not only with a brand-new, album-declaring single, but also with flexed vocal chords for the first time on "Mabel". If you haven't heard the aforementioned BANKS songs for some inexcusable reason, and you're wondering what makes Lil Silva's production so phenomenal, all of your doubts should be swiftly swept away by "Mabel". The work opens with undisturbed electric guitar plucks, overlapped shortly thereafter by sporadic vocal bits and reverberating percussion, and a serene, somewhat dark sonic atmosphere results. About thirty seconds in, Lil Silva's soulful, echoed vocals storm onto the track atop a layer of deep bass and pumping kicks, and the particular sound remains in tact for a while. Just when you get used to the song's feel, Lil Silva musters an oscillating whirlwind of wavy synths, which open the door to a percussion filled, upbeat, danceable segment of the track. The sound is near incomparable, and it really is a solid reminder of why Lil Silva is regarded as the producer prodigy he truly is. We're willing to bet that his upcoming EP (which has two songs featuring the goddess, BANKS) will be one of the most interesting of the summer, so we strongly advise you to check back on August 4th for the release of it.
